MIAMI -- More than a month has passed since $500,000 worth of computers was stolen from a Miami business, and police are still looking for the individuals responsible for the heist.

Police said two men broke into Prosys Information Systems Oct. 8 and, along with two others, made off with computer laptops and desktops during a four-hour robbery.

Surveillance video shows two men wearing ski masks driving up to the front of Prosys in a Lincoln Navigator trying to break in. After attempts to open the hurricane shutters failed, video shows one of the men smashing the window and entering the code to deactivate the alarm.

"We're investigating the angle of a phone call made to the business some several weeks prior to the break-in of someone pretending to be the alarm company and in effect getting the business owner to give out their alarm code," Miami-Dade Police Det. Sharon Ibanez said.

The men then left and returned with two other men in a box truck that they used to transport the stolen computers.

"It's a violation of your privacy," systems manager Lilliam Leming said. "It's probably gone. It was probably gone the day after they did it. I'd like to see them caught because what they're doing to us, they're doing to someone else."

Anyone with information about the crime is asked to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at (305) 471-TIPS.
